Unlike Virginia (but not Old Dominon) in the College Basketball Inviational, you won't have to open your wallet to play in this blog.

According to colleagues Doug Doughty and Rich Radford, the Cavs' will lose $150,000 on their post-season run, if you can calling beating two in-state mid-majors at home - by a total of six points - a run. ODU got a better deal.

At least Virginia played well into March, even if it was in a third-rate tournament. That's more than can be said for most of the rest of the ACC.

Clemson? One and done. Miami and Duke? Two and out.

The hopes of the league rest on North Carolina, which is exactly what many suspected would happen at the beginning of the season.

But even if the Tar Heels win it all, can coaches say with a staight face next season - as they did at every opportunity this year - that the ACC is the best league?
